What to do with the iPad when you have a new computer?

My old computer broke down, beond repair.
I did not have a chance to save anything from my iPad nor from my iPod.
Now I installed Tunes on a new computer, (Windows 7) but is says to sync with the new computer, it will delete everything.
Does that mean I will lose all my contacts, my photo's and all my notes?
The music and video is no problem, because I do have backups from that.
Thanks for answering.

If you copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, it'll be happy. Do you still have the hard drive from the old computer?
You'll need the old hard drive and you'll need to be able to connect it to the new computer. Usually that means you would need an external hard drive enclosure, but NewerTech makes an inexpensive device that makes this about as difficult as making toast (I'm not kidding.)
See: http://www.newertech.com/products/voyagers3.php
You literally plug the hard drive (no mounting hardware) straight down into the slot. Plug it into your PC via a USB cable (which is included with the device) and turn it on. Windows will recognize the external hard drive and you'll be able to copy all your important files.
There are two types of hard drives in the world: (1) those that have failed, and (2) those that are going to fail. Hard drives are cheap. Get a spare hard drive and start making backups. You may go years between hard drive failures, but it will _eventually_ happen and, when it does, you'll be glad you had a backup.

To get synced photos from an iPod to a computer you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView.

What is wrong with the ipad if i cant open new tabs in safari?

I just baught the ipad mini and i can not open more than one tab at a time. Even after i tap on 'openin another tab" nothing happens. Is there anything wrong with it or is it just a settings problem?

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

TS1368 What is the "other" on the IPAD when you try to download - it's massive gigs

What is the"other" on the IPAD when you try to download - it's massive gigabytes and I can't get it off the IPAD

This indicates corrupt files. A restore should resolve.

Does anyone have trouble with the iPad booting you off of the internet? I will be in the middle of something (i.e. Facebook), and it boots me out and I have to sign in again.

Don't confuse the threads here with 'typical' experience. Most of the stuff here is from brand new users, and those that have problems, and considering the 30 million pads in use, represent a very small sliver.
If you are having repeated crashes it is really pretty basic. You either have a physical problem with your pad, or you are using too much memory.
The iOS system is supposed to monitor memory, and shut down previously used apps automatically to free up memory for what you are doing now. That part of ios is not perfect, and if an app introduces an unexpected memory load, sometimes it gets over whelmed.
This happens, more often than not, when using safari with multiple windows open on graphic intense sites. It can also happen with a memory intensive game, and residual apps in the background.
Double tap the home key and take a peek at the recently used list, and shut them down completely, and often the problem goes away.
If the problem persists, you may have a software issue, and a trip to the genius bar may be in order.

I've lost half of my icons such as calculator, fonts, chess, automator,ichat,ical it it saying that you can use this version with the OSX. You have version 4.04. And, there is no way to update them. What do you do?

If I'm understanding you correctly, those apps have stopped working and you are getting a message saying that they won't work with this version of Mac OS X when you try to open them. Is that right? If so, have you moved those apps out of their original locations? That is a bad idea, as it prevents them from being properly updated. If this is what has happened, what version of the system were you running before they stopped working, and what version are you running now, after installing the update that has made them stop working?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime? How do I do that?

They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

If you get an iPad with the 3G do you have to pay for internet service?

No. But you have to purchase a data plan in order to use the iPad via the 3G connection. Some 3G iPad owners do not have internet service at home and rely only on the 3G connection.
If you do not purchase a data plan to use with the 3G, then you will only be able to use your iPad where you can find a WiFi connection - like at a library, or a Starbucks, Barnes and Noble, a friend's house that has WiFi .....

TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port.
Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Then try restoring the iPod again.

Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER

Can you still access Adobe PDF SAVED FILES WHEN YOU GET A NEW COMPUTER ? Do you loose the files you have saved on you old computer when you get another computer?

I may not be clear on what you are asking here but I'll try an answer anyway since that's the type of guy I am.
If you have PDF files on your old computer, you will need to transfer them to your new computer. You can use a flash drive or CD if needed.
But again, I think I'm not getting what you are really wanting to know. If I'm not, can you give us some more details?

I have a large library that I ripped in AIFF using iTunes. I converted to Mp3 to save drive space, keeping the originals. I have a new computer and want to revert to my original files. iTunes sees the library but is looking for Mp3 files. Suggestions?

You're welcome.

What is included with the ipad 32bit?

What is included with the Ipad2 wi-fi 3G?

What do you mean by, what is included? Do you mean what is included in the box? If you do, you get an iPad, a USB cable, a 10W charger, an Apple Logo Sticker and a very small booklet that gives you the most basic set up instructions.
